Treatment of test tube baby with single horn uterus
Uniangular uterus is a rare congenital anomaly. The patient has only one side of the uterus and the other side is missing or underdeveloped. This situation may cause problems for women who want to be pregnant, but fortunately, through IVF technology, patients with unilateral uterus can still realize their dreams of childbirth. The following will introduce the treatment of test tube babies with single horn uterus.
1. IVF assisted reproductive technology
IVF assisted reproductive technology is one of the most effective methods to treat infertility. For patients with unilateral uterus, in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and other technologies can be selected. These techniques are used to complete fertilization and embryo culture in vitro, and finally transfer healthy embryos to the single horn uterus.
First, female patients need to receive stimulating drug treatment to promote ovarian ovulation and increase the number of eggs. Later, doctors will collect multiple eggs and combine them with sperm to cultivate embryos through in vitro fertilization or ICSI technology. The embryo culture time is generally 3-5 days, and the doctor will select one or two of the best quality embryos to transplant into the single horn uterus. If the transplant is successful, the patient can become pregnant.
2. Surgical correction of unilateral uterus
In some cases, patients may choose surgical treatment to correct the uniangular uterus. The method of surgical correction depends on the specific situation of the patient, which may include uterine reconstruction, cornectomy, etc. These operations can restore the single horn uterus to its normal shape, thus increasing the chance of pregnancy.
However, surgical treatment will cause certain burden and risk to the patient's body, so it needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors. After surgery, patients still need IVF assisted reproductive technology to promote pregnancy.
3. Nutrition conditioning and auxiliary drug treatment
For patients with unilateral uterus, nutritional conditioning and adjuvant drug treatment are also very important. Good nutrition intake can improve patients' physical fitness and immunity, and increase the chance of pregnancy. In addition, doctors may advise patients to take some auxiliary drugs, such as ovulation promoting drugs, progesterone, etc., to help the normal development of the ovary and maintain the implantation of embryos.
4. Psychological support and personalized consultation
In the face of infertility, whether it is a single horn uterus or any other reason, psychological support and personalized counseling are very important for patients. Team counseling can help patients reduce stress and maintain a good attitude. In addition, personalized consultation can design the most appropriate treatment scheme for patients according to their specific conditions.
summary
The main treatment methods of test tube baby with monocorn uterus include IVF assisted reproductive technology, surgical correction of monocorn uterus, nutritional conditioning and auxiliary drug treatment, as well as psychological support and personalized counseling. Through these methods, patients with unilateral uterus can increase the chance of successful pregnancy and realize their reproductive dreams.
